Thank you for taking the time to do this Jesse! There was quite a lot of different parameters that needed changing from the video, but my main issue I spent all morning trying to solve was getting some of the edges to remain yellow paint, which I solved by removing the clamp box in the first map node, so easy to miss.... but all good now :))

@@RickHenderson its because where two objects usually meet as you wrote, thats where you get "dirt" in real life... since if its on "plain surface", it gets washed out by water/rain, or blown out by wind etc. But "where two objects meet" there is already some "barrier" to prevent the dirt/dust etc. from getting away... Thats why its usefull to use ambient occlusion map for "dirt"

Solid video. The only suggestion I'd make (aside from cutting the gradient mask and separating the the two colors into their own materials so it can be used on more than just this specific object), is that "Distance" is a better way to adjust the intensity of bump maps, not "Strength." Strength makes the slopes shallower while Distance only affects the height of the effect (which is usually what we want).

First of all, thanks for compacting this info into a single video. I was effectively trying to make materials like this in other ways without realizing it, so it's nice to have a solid method for this. To extend this method further for importing it into video games: You can bake the texture using the UV map. Firstly, make a new image node in the texture that is not connected to anything and make sure it is selected. For every new image you make (diffuse, normal, etc.), you'll need to generate a new one. Then, under the Render Properties tab (while using Cycles) and "Bake" section, you can set the "Bake Type" to "Diffuse" and select only color to get color, and there are other modes there to extract your AO, shadow, normal, roughness, gloss, etc. You can also use this method to generate a new UV map for re-mapping an existing texture. I do believe that for most of these though, that you do need to have even world lighting. You can do this by going to the World Properties tab and then just setting the color to pure white. I use this method with an orthographic camera to generate a color and normal map to have 3D-looking images as planes. These are a bunch of things I learned from Kaizen and others, and I felt like it's a good segue from this video to show what you can do next.

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

Thank you! And thanks for the in depth comment on baking. You’re absolutely right and it’s great to be able to use these materials in other engines. The only thing that I would like to add; you need to bake the EMIT value for each texture map. This will make sure you get solid colors without lighting. So if you have lighting in your scene it doesn’t matter at all! I baked this scene with all lights in it for example but they didn’t change my texture at all ;-)

As a thank for this useful info - quick tip from a pro sound guy. To reduce unwanted low- and mid-low frequencies reverberation on your voice you can EQ it a little bit to remove some resonances of your room. For instance in DaVinci - on your voiceover track double-click on EQ, set Equalizer type to "Ice", on the Band 3 section set the Frequency knob to 155 Hz, Gain to "-8.0" dB, and Q Factor to 5.0. Then go to Band 4, switch its frequency to ML, set Frequency parameter to 260 Hz, Gain to "-7" dB, and cranck the Q Factor all the way up to 10.3. Feel free to play around with these values (but very careful with frequencies), but they are a good starting point for your particular voice, mic, and room. Of course, it's better to sound-treat the room or use more advanced plugins, but EQ is a quick and free method to make these resonances less audible.

@stonbax Жыл бұрын

what you don't say is that these materials are not textures unlike substance. You can't just export them to another program. If you need to create a lot of game assets quickly, this is not the best solution as you will need to bake everything and if you don't have a beast pc, it can take minutes or hours just for the baking part

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

You’re right that they’re actually procedural. I think that’s why they’re so great. Baking can take some time but it’s the only way to do it I guess. Baking (exporting) in Substance also takes time + substance is pretty heavy in itself. So to me it’s about equal in that respect. Substance is easier to work with though and has many more options! So for professional level assets I’d stick with Substance. But this is perfect for background assets and stuff where you want to create some simple differentiation! 🙏🏻

@@KaizenTutorials actually, i don't have the fastest GPU, it's a 4gb one, and Substance runs smoothly. The baking? Record time compared to Blender. Yes, depends on the material on Blender, but still, for complex masking and with many 4k texture, substance is unbeatable. But it's another workflow and it's another use :), i like some Blender materials more, for that procedural generation tho, and would like to have them on SP (i don't use SP, i have school (fake) license, nothing more than trying it on my PC right now, I'll probably buy the 2023 version on steam when it will come out)

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

@@NightVisionOfficial Yeah it's right to say they both have their uses in different scenarios. Substance is truly amazing and a real gamechanger. Just the fact that the materials in Blender require 0 UV unwrapping is very powerful though. So it has a future, especially looking at AI generated models.

@NightVisionOfficial Жыл бұрын

@@KaizenTutorials If even just UE5 would allow for something like that to be used, it would be awesome. The problem right now is that even tho we have this option, you either don't need to export (use only blender to render scenes and what not), or you make UVs and bake :/ . I'm an UE user, also the market is better than just having Blender as the running program. I hope they get more in touch with each other, and make this happen. Imagine taking Sanctus materials and use them natively on UE xD. But i guess it's not really a thing when it comes to Gaming, since procedural materials that are not baked, means they take time on the render and not really easy to run

It seems that, with just a bit of effort and understanding of the workflow you present here, most of what I thought I needed to buy an addon for is actually doable for free like this in Blender as is. The addon might let me manage many layers of what you have shown here but I am not at a need level that requires something like that at the moment.

Yeah, I think both have their usecases. Painter will always be better for texturing because it's a specialized tool vs. a more general tool like Blender, which needs to be good on too many different aspects.

Great video, always find these kinds of materials are excellent for things that aren't "hero" assets too, like making generic metals, plastics etc to populate a scene faster. And saving a general wear/tear or surface imperfections node setup to apply to new materials. Also fun when you change the main diffuse colour based on object ID too, as well as the offsets for noises/roughness imperfections, so every time you duplicate something it's a new variation! I'm curious what the render time difference is of the procedural node setup vs when you bake them out as images? I've had mixed results with this, sometimes the nodes actually perform faster than image maps depending on how complex things go there's a sweet spot for sure.

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

That’s a great idea! Also really like the object ID thing as a way to randomize stuff more. Like you said it’s perfect for background asset stuff. Obviously hero assets deserve a quality, specialized texture 💪🏻 Rendertimes for these we’re a total of about 13 seconds per frame at 2560x1440, 4096 samples, 0.1 noise threshold. I did bake the maps as well but then I did EEVEE renders which took about 0.5 seconds per frame. I believe I tried Cycles as well but there was no obvious difference on the render time vs the procedural setup!

@@KaizenTutorials It's pretty fun solving these kinda problems and then it also being efficient memory/re-use wise. Definitely a lot to learn from games for these tips and how they construct levels efficiently out of modular pieces or how they deal with tiling, large assets, and variations. I learnt a lot from the latest Kitbash 3D free pack too, mostly about texturing large assets effectively with trim sheets/tiling maps 👍especially the cargo ship if you ever check it out, very clever UV's and use of textures. Ah nice, that's good to know! I'm sure there's a threshold where maps will be faster but it seems like it'd take a lot to reach that then which is great news.

So I had kinda headache when he jumped to geometry nodes but all I can say is THANKS. Because I've watched countless tutorials about texturing and they always get so detailled that they will make a 2 hours video only for one step but YOU, my friend..... explained it straight to the point and in a easy way to follow. Thanks bro, can't thank you enough.

up until now i used to think those textures were hand painted! This is so amazing and would save a lot of time. I believe other surface imperfections like glass fingerprints and cracks are also possible with this technique! Smeaf and you should do a competition about who can make more memeified blender tutorial videos lol
